Wall Street Legend

  Chapter 307 Appraiser

There was an earl from the ancestors of the Seymour family, but that was in the 17th and 18th centuries. Later, some people won the "Honor of the Indian Empire". In the 19th century, someone from the Seymour family climbed to the East India The top management of the company, this is the father of the admiral of the navy, was considered prominent for a while.

Time has entered the 21st century, and it has fallen to the point where it is necessary to sell antiques to make a living. Even Ye Dongqing, who usually does not pay attention to antiques, has rushed here. After getting the news, everyone knows that the Seymour family hides a lot of good things.

If it was in the 1990s, if it wasn’t for high-quality porcelain, calligraphy and painting, and bronze wares, almost no one would pay too much attention to Chinese antiques. As people in the motherland began to get rich, they frequently sold them in the international market, and the prices increased every time. High, this has attracted the attention of businessmen engaged in related industries.

  When he led Laura and Zhao Liuli out of the car, those standing at the door suddenly understood who was coming, and they could guess it just by looking at the bodyguards.

Mr. Robin Beckenbauer has not revealed the news before, seeing Ye Dongqing visiting at the appointment, he almost trotted out to greet them, with a smile on his face as bright as a flower, and said in a rhythmic British accent: " What a wonderful day! Mr. Ye! The people of the Seymour family are preparing, and the things are in the restaurant, and you can see them later!"

   "Don't worry about that, I called someone to help me choose, wait a while."

   After shaking hands with the other party, Ye Dongqing said that he asked his assistant to help arrange several experts for antique appraisal. He had never met before, so it is not clear whether the other party has arrived or not.

His eyes flicked across the crowd, and there were several people of yellow race standing there. I don’t know which country they are from. The news of this private auction was released as early as half a month ago. It is normal to attract so many people. At a glance, there are more than 20 people standing at the door alone, and there are more inside the building.

When buying antiques, it is common to find someone to appraise them. Mr. Beckenbauer only cares about how much Ye Dongqing can spend today, as long as the distinguished guest is satisfied with the rest, he continued to tell: "They are all high-quality goods that were shipped back in the past. An admiral is definitely capable of taking the best loot, maybe some modern art mixed in, but it's all marked and should be fine."

   "...I am Chinese, do you know what he did to my motherland?" Ye Dongqing was a little upset when she heard the word "trophy".

  Specializing in antiques, if you don’t learn some history, how can you get along? Beckenbauer sold a piece of porcelain before, and when he said it was taken out of the Old Summer Palace, the Chinese customer immediately became furious.

Immediately explained with a smile: "That's all in the past, isn't it? I despise the former Britain. They are not gentlemen at all. Who would have thought that this country used to be the largest drug trafficking gang in the world. I am sorry for their actions. Sorry to you."

The rich is the uncle. If an ordinary person talks about these things to Beckenbauer, he will probably ignore them. Most British people will only feel proud of those things in the era of great navigation and colonization. The wealth of the United Kingdom has made the United Kingdom one of the most powerful countries in the global economy. How could they not be proud, and they wished to seize more resources at that time.

  Ye Dongqing just mentioned in passing that the pain points of ethnic culture should be kept in mind, but he should not be too radical. He now represents so many companies. If he talks too much and gets caught, it will be very difficult to do business in Europe.

Look at Germany now, what was done decades ago is not accepted now, time is pushed forward, it is said that when the Yuan Dynasty cavalry invaded Europe and attacked the city, they threw sick and dead bodies into the city, causing black death The spread of the disease caused the European population to drop by one-third, and more than 20 million people just disappeared. Who can ask for reason?

  Mr. Beckenbauer stopped talking when he saw this potential high-roller, so he was naturally not stupid enough to take the initiative to continue to mention it, and began to introduce the history of the castle to them...

A director of the British branch of Danshui Investment Group drove a Mercedes-Benz and brought five famous antique and oil painting appraisers to the scene. Willing to come over to help, I believe that the group of people under him have already helped to contact him, so he doesn't need to worry about this small matter.

   "Let's go, let's go in too."

  Seeing a young man with curly blond hair standing at the door shouting that it's about to start, Ye Dongqing said to the group of people around him.

After a brief exchange, I found out that among these appraisers, an old man named Neil is actually the chief appraiser of the British Museum, and the other two are also from the British Museum, who are respectively responsible for the restoration of ancient porcelain and the appraisal of oil paintings. This avatar looks very experienced.

The other two are from Sotheby's Auction House. This company is headquartered in London. As one of the world's most famous auction houses, it is a bit cleaner, especially when doing private work. Ye Dongqing is not worried about their cooperation. Come and cheat yourself.

"The time is too short. Originally, we wanted to go to Huaxia to invite some experts according to your request, but visas and other things are more troublesome. Even if we can find them, the auction should be over after they come by plane." Name The person in charge of the British branch named Roger Hewitt told Ye Dongqing that he may have a way of managing, but he doesn't know much about antiques. People are no worse than those antique appraisers specially recruited from Huaxia, and they may even be more professional.

Ye Dongqing was noncommittal about this, and replied: "That's it, I believe in the abilities of the gentlemen, Mr. Hewitt, if you are interested, you can stay and go in together to have a look, if you are not interested, go back to the company first, I will send The car sent the gentlemen back safely."

Mr. Hewitt looked at the crowd in the house, and finally decided to stay. He often saw garage auctions, but he had never seen a real antique auction. He said, "I'll go back later. Not many...I worked overtime a while ago, and now I’m just waiting for the news from the real estate agent. There seem to be two houses near Kensington Garden Street that are ready to be sold. It fits your status as the boss, the richest in London. Almost all of them live there."

   Almost broke out in fear, cursed an idiot in my heart, how can I say that I am not busy in front of the boss, isn't this a reason for laying off the boss?

Ye Dongqing smiled happily. Hewitt is also considered an old employee. When he first came to work, the headquarters was still on Wall Street. He joined in when there were only thirty or forty employees. In the afternoon, I will go to see the house again. A friend’s mother just bought a house in Kensington Palace last year. The environment should be pretty good..."
